My father left our family when I was only six - I am now 27. He never paid the maintenance he was supposed to and left my mother to fend for both myself and my brother. I had to make contact with him when I was 15 years old - then lived with him for two years before he sent me off to Israel to 'grow up'. When I returned he had decided to move to another country 10 000 miles from where I grew up. Now I am married and have a two month old baby. I have, again, packed up my whole life to follow after him, to no avail. In no uncertain terms he swore at me on the phone 'F%*k you, f%*k your wife and f%*k your child!' Not to mention the too regular references to my baby girl's genitals! I am at a point where I want nothing to do with him EVER AGAIN. Where does one draw the line? I feel that for the safety of myself and my family we should have no further exposure to him. Can I just push him out of my life, permanently?

This is a wedding that was supposed to take place in Garden Grove, CA. We put $2,000 down as a nonrefundable deposit. They cashed the check May 12, 06. The wedding date was for Nov. 3, 06. Bride and groom have to cancel the wedding due to pregnancy. What can we do? They aren't willing to refund any of the money, nor will they apply it to her sister's wedding, which will take place in Jan. next year. Do we have any legal recourse? Does anyone know the maximum allowable nonrefundable deposit in Orange County?

As a young successful woman classified with it, I’m pretty insulted at the level of ignorance and false ideas people have of Aspergers. Ignorant and bigoted “neurotypical” folks such as yourselves are failing to acknowledge that this so called disorder has more good symptoms then bad including high intelligence. Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton both had Asperger’s syndrome. My great uncle and great grandfather had Asperger’s- one was a doctor and the other was an inventor! Did it ever occur to you that maybe one of the main factors hindering our social shortcomings is that our above normal intelligence alienates ourselves from commoners? Growing up, I didn’t have many friends, not because I couldn’t, but because I didn’t want to. It’s not like people didn’t offer to my friend. It was a choice. I didn’t want friends because I was bored by their idiotic activities, whereas I was interested in activities that involved deeper thinking. Years later when I changed my mind and adjusted my attitudes, I decided I wanted friends. It was a big struggle at first, not so much because of the innate factors of Asperger’s syndrome, but because of my lack of social experience. I had a lot of catching up to do. However, my social skills gradually developed with time, and now I could say my social skills are relatively high functioning. And while I have friends now, I still enjoy plenty of peaceful “alone” time, since I’m a naturally solitary person; because that’s what we Aspies are- solitary intellectuals. And I enjoy being this way. Different is not inferior. Not wanting to be conformist sheep doesn’t make us weird. How is that Aspergers is considered a neurological disorder but homosexuality isn’t? How about instead, looking at real problems like Alzheimer’s, cancer, and the breakdown of the American family?( In case you need common reference, Lisa Simpson is a classic example of an Aspie).

Does anyone else here have Synesthesia? It's so hard to find people that can relate to my odd view of the world...
If so, what types do you have? I have...
Color->Sound
Movement->Sound (the kind of movement that doesn't produce sound, like hair moving in the wind.)
Color->Taste
Color->Pain
Touch->Color
Color->Emotion
Color->Personality
Color->Age
Color->Gender

For all of you skeptics that think I'm crazy... just so you know I have never done any dru.gs.

What are the instances you can think of, where a material may absorb electromagnetic energy of a certain frequency (colour) range while ignoring energy coming at other frequencies?

Example:
Plants absorb electromagnetic energy in the form of visible light for photosynthesis, but may not do the same with radio waves or X-rays, which are also electromagnetic waves.
